Do you have a bowel movement everyday?

That has been a problem for me since I can remember. I try as much as possible to have a bowel movement everyday. I use different kinds of products to induce it - coffee, fiber drinks, coconut juice drink, apple juice, anything that can help. You see, my family has a long history with cancer, and it's mostly on the colon part. So I get really bothered if I'm constipated. I have read that the normal movement is 1-3 times a day, so if a person doesn't have a bowel movement after a day, that is already constipation. And if the person always gets constipated, that is a bad thing because he/she is keeping toxins inside. So yeah, we should aim to have a bowel movement everyday. =)

Hi Jacruz! I must admit that I do not have a bowel movement everyday. Sometimes it's only every other day. I don't get to eat food with lots of fiber so I guess that's the reason why I don't go everyday.

I have bowel movements almost every day. Yesterday i only had one but, generally I have between 2 or more bowel movement per day. Are you a vegan or just health conscious?

I have read in a magazine that a healthy person is supposed to release dirt three times a day. But with our lifestyle now, sometimes skipping breakfast, eating unhealthy food, Once a day is acceptable. I have observed that infants poo two or three times a day, which means that they are healthy.

yeah,i do have a regular bowel movement. it actually occurs before or after lunch time.=) i have a fast metabolism that's why sometimes i move my bowel twice in a day.
